Dont trump rushes to carry out election promises, including getting troops out of afghanistan and iraq, as he continues to question the us president ial election results. And russias president says, care about bloodshed could, a stopped weeks ago before the armenian, i was there, a conflict took so many casualties. Our correspondent reports from the scene of a fragile peace. This is still somewhat of a surreal sight russian peacekeepers, bad review or with the troops. Good, good. You should move away from a very warm welcome to you. Its 9 am here in moscow, and youre watching our C International with me. The key erin, its great to have you with us. Now, protests of tons, island in france following a draft secure bill to ban publication of images of police with intent to cause them harm. The interior minister insists the bill will protect officers, but it sparked outrage from rights campaigners to gas and water cannon have been fired in the french capital to disperse crowds, angry at the move hold on. As you can see, Police Vehicles are moving down and pushing the protesters down that the street protesters whove come im comes to Global Security lure to draw. 7 for real thats being discussed in the National Assembly on tuesday evening. This is a rule which includes an element which if cost could make it illegal for people to disseminate to record and publish images over police offices. If there is intent to harm criminalize a mission of could lead to mourning amphoras who are now 45000 troops. We have seen police battening and flacking protesters trying to move them from the streets behind us. You can see that there is a row of Police Vehicles here that water cannon as well thats being used tonight as has ample tear gas. Thank you. Thank you. Ive seen women having their hay young to being abused to be grabbed by the head to be thrown to the floor by Police Officers, medics being hit by police battens. And in fact, as we were just at the metro station filming some of the violence against the protest as we ourselves were forcibly chucked out by the police, my cameraman, who robbed by offices while he was filming, while we were trying to do an interview and ejected from that crowd that this protest by journalists who knows the law has been criticised by the e. U. And dressing terms of its democratic cause occurrences. The bill could lead to significant violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms in particular, the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression. Intent is a concept that is open to interpretation and hard to determine any photos or video showing a dent a fireball. Police officers that are published or broadcast by critical media outlets, or are accompanied by critical comments, could find themselves being accused of seeking to harm these Police Officers. For journalists, the legal risk exists and the possibility of conviction would be real. Amy g. s over the police op protests have been used time and time again, showing the violence thats being used that this law would essentially stop. Thats what unions say, they say that it is same says ship. However, the government says this new is needed to protect Police Officers from the violence because while im talking about the police hitting protesters trying to move them around, we have also seen violence towards the police this evening. Weve seen bottles thrown towards and far as being lit. We have seen destruction here on the streets of paris with the bus shelters being smashed in. So there is violence on both sides. And the government says this noor is needed to protect the police. Police unions say it doesnt go far enough and if it is a choice between freedom of the press and liberty, when it comes to showing these images of the security of their offices, they will side with the security of their offices every time anybody who would be found guilty of if this law passed would find themselves one year behind jail with a fine of 45000 you is that is a severe punishment. But let you tell me this. A severe punishment is being on the frontlines in an evening like this when the tensions are so high. And there is that attack from the police. Possibly because theyre also afraid over the protestors. But the reality is it is been a brutal like with violence from both sides. But from where we have stood, the violence has been main coming from the police to wards protesters who for the most part, we have witnessed in doing anything to well deserve some of the violence ive observed this evening. Lets go on a less nickel and markovitch believes Police Officers now should expect to be captured on camera. Because there is something going on with the reorganization of the French Police and Law Enforcement agencies. The tip of the iceberg that were talking about today, and its getting everybody really nervous, is the fact that you would not be able to morrow to film a police van. And i think its important to state that people are not showing policemen today, or Law Enforcement agents who are law abiding, who are respecting the law, who are just doing their job and try to make sure that demonstrations are going as normal. But people are feeling today because weve seen in france and these past years, extreme violence, a lot of demonstrators there, only defense is to film the policemen, showing that this is my security, my insurance, that you wont get me up. If you do, im going to make sure that your base is on is an internet. I think it is extremely important. d that people who are in the streets that people be able to film this is extremely important. Thats part of the job and it should Police Officers 2020. Thats the way it is. If you dont want to be filmed or become a police officer, i think this is something which is which is important in the world. Antidoping agencies questioned a u. S. Bill to prosecute thing in sport. What it wants to know why the bill excludes and merican a sense allowing an International Prosecutions atis down. Of course, a small washingtons rolled out its latest offensive in the war on performance enhancing drugs. Its called the rod chunk of act, anti doping act of 2019, which strengthened the integrity of International Sports competitions by imposing criminal sanctions on certain persons involved in International Doping fraud conspiracy. The act would green light washington for legal action against doping conspirators in games involving american players and it outlines some have to be penalties, fines of up to 1000000. 00, as well as prison sentences of up to 10 years. A dream come true for the usa today. It is a monumental day in the fight for clean sport worldwide, and we look forward to seeing the act soon become law and help change the game for clean athletes for the good looks promising enough on paper. But here comes the double standard. U. S. Politicians are more than happy to put foreigners behind bars for doping while the bill gives american athletes. A free pass. Duping agency wishes to understand why this legislation excludes vast areas of u. S. Support. In particular of the professional leagues in all college sport. It is not good enough for american sports. What is it fine for the rest of the world . Considering how the u. S. Is treated domestic doping in the past. The log book could probably use of updates take Julian Edelman, the patriots shining star and super bowl m. V. P. His career seen some great achievements with a little help from dope, its wide receiver Julian Edelman is facing a 4 game suspension for performance enhancing substances. A 4 game suspension is quite a long leap away from 10 years in the can for edelman though, the cushy treatment didnt end there. He was still showered with awards at the years and even sealed advertisement deals. There are no rules in basketball. Its a similar story. Last year basketball, prodigy deon, dreyer, 8, and was caught doping up his punishment jail. Just kidding. He was suspended for 25. 00 games and then showed up on the jimmy kimmel show. Hes a member of the n. B. A. All rookie team from the phoenix suns. Say hello to deion 3. Hello to you. All right, ok. And heres the best part. Hes now the face of a Protein Health shake commercial eyes on the prize. Thats how you know washingtons long made it clear, they take doping in sports very seriously when of course it suits their agenda. Sports. My town podcast to alan moore warns the us bill has a completely different agenda to be stated to the stated one. This has nothing to do with Police Welfare or looking after teens. If it did, it would be told to different doctor going to it for the its not going to pose in the, for the sponsors of the sport. Its simply looking out for the breeding money, interest, the hollanders, media, and government is not in to do with r. C. Whether because it was r. C. Welfare, they would have brought it in across the board to all the Major League Sports in america. Would sign of them easily to water, but you wont do that because the owners of the big major sports teams and Media Networks who cover them. And the huge, the mass of his situation of best years in the sports wont get them. So does, has nothing to argue whether this is simply a boast greed on the dollar. Not a mere pittance authored a behind the scenes look, talks to end cynical and eye contact conflicts. The russian president explained a peace deal between armenia and azerbaijan to have been reached weeks ago. But one of the nations was when looked into conceit, contrary to popular opinion that he would not step on october 19th and 20th. I had a series of phone conversations with president aliyev and Prime Minister passion yann. At that time, the armed forces of azerbaijan had regained control over an insignificant southern part of care about it. In general, i managed to convince president aliyev that it was possible to stop the hostilities. If you put his obligatory condition was the return of refugees including to shusha. Then unexpectedly, for me, the position of armenian partners was formulated in such a way that it was unacceptable for them that the Prime Minister told me back then. No, we cannot agree to this. We will fight. Therefore, accusations against him, of some kind of betrayal have no basis. The truce is widely seen as a capitulation in armenia triggering protests and demands the Prime Minister quits. Theres a different mood in azerbaijan. Baku keeps its military gains and this month will receive 3 other districts in the disputed tabak region. But not about those in ses ending, the bloodshed makes it a win win somewhere. The most important thing thats been done is to stop the bloodshed. Over 4000 people died according to official data. In reality, i think there are more tens of thousands have been injured and maimed. This is not a movie. This is a tragedy that is taking place in real life. With real people affecting real families. Therefore, stopping the bloodshed is the key thing that we all thought and historian gerald horne told us how the armenian crimeas you tell the truth costing national support. Keep in mind, letterman, the Prime Minister or media went into this war. This conflict with deserve that is left to the deaths of thousands to the maiming and injury turns of thousands to the creation of displaced persons and refugees, a significant percentage or a 1000000 population. Not to mention, there were many an aspirant in the Prime Ministers corner. But as is often said, victory has a 1000 parents, and defeat is an orphan. And so now you see, there are a number of there were millions who were cheering on the Prime Minister when he wanted this conflict, or when he entered into this conflict. Now are ready to see him take the nearest and close this refugees, meanwhile, continue to return to karabakh under the protection of russian peacekeepers on tuesday, 500 on medians travel about their homes. Having fled the fighting 1700. People have now come back to the city after public hurt and expressed thanks for russian support. We feel that we arent alone anymore. Were supporting. Weve been given our lives back. Im happy that russia has with me. I have nothing to add. Ive always respected russia and i have nothing to lose. I feel happy and proud that we have friends like this that help us and dont leave us in trouble. Russian peacekeepers have reopens the only road link between armenia and the region to ensure the safe return of civilians. The missions also help to improve cooperation between armenia. Desirea troops in power back on says mike garcia, senses this report on the peacekeeping. Like just north of shushi, the site of some of the bloodiest, the most merciless fighting of this war is a russian peacekeeper outpost. They arrived to a scene from a night their routes lined with bodies and bombs burned and blasted vehicles. This is still somewhat of a surreal sight. Russian peacekeepers standing together with i said about johnny troops just 30 years, who meters away from us outside of sushi of all places. Its been days now since ive been registered. And this is especially surprising given the brutality of this conflict just a few weeks ago, after weeks of fadia as she was eventually reached in the 10th of november, it was full of compromise where armenia agreed to hand over the various territories. It controlled to a. Z. Headed by john, the latter agreed to let Ethnic Armenian refugees return to their homes. But signing papers is one thing. Making sure things actually happen is another one of the benefits of the 2 dozen or so. Russian seized monitoring stations that have been set up here in the go in the car is that they are neutral territories. They areas where as their buddy troops just a few 100 meters away from us, can come as well as armenian forces. And they can resolve their disputes with the help of russian peacekeepers. As mediators, there are also areas where the red cross can come. For example, to do its own work such as organize the exchange of prisoners, the change of the remains of fallen troops to coordinate the mining operations. Its all about trust peacekeepers serve an important function. Sure. They discourage ceasefire violations. That really gets you so far. But they shine that hes getting those who waged war to build peace. To that then humanitarian groups if flocked to care about the red cross being at the forefront. Now, routes and pauses once littered with bodies and traps and mines a safe again. But what breeds even more optimism is the tommy millions of us here by john. These can gather at the same place and talk if through russian peacekeepers, more of guys do have the gold make up. A few politicians want a shorter one quick to get more people back in employment. We put the issue up for debate after the break results of the us election cycle. No surprise many, there was no blue wave, and the g. O. P. Wave is games for all across the board. Both parties have deep internal divisions, and the court is in both parties based populist challenges. This is the perfect recipe for a political beeline. Seemed wrong. Why dont we all just dont call me yet to shape out this day become active and engaged . Because the trail when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics. Sports business, im show business. Ill see you then welcome back. The u. S. Has announced the withdrawal of 500 troops from iraq and thousands from afghanistan. And its set to take place in january just before projected president elect joe biden is expected to take office and potentially oppose that decision. And a further complication donald trump made the announcement while still disputed the election result, arties kellett, more pain. As more the pentagon has announced that it is reducing the number of u. S. Troops in both iraq and afghanistan between now and mid january u. S. Troops will be drawing down their presence at roughly 2500. 00 remaining in both countries. I celebrate this day as we continue the president s consistent progress in completing the mission we began nearly 2 decades ago. Viewers will recall that donald trump has recently fired a number of pentagon staff, including mark asper, the secretary of defense. At this point, donald trump is still contesting the u. S. President ial election, though most u. S. Media outlets have declared joe biden to be the winner. Now donald trump campaigned on a promise of withdrawing u. S. Troops from around the world, putting america 1st and drawing back the u. S. Military presence in countries overseas. And it appears that with this movie is partially fulfilling that promise. The u. S. Public overwhelmingly shows in polls. They do favor a reduction of the u. S. Presence overseas. However, it seems that the chief of nato was not thrilled with this recent move by trump. We went into afghanistan together, and when the time is right we should leave together in a coordinated and orderly way. Will this change with a joe biden in ministration in the white house . Joe biden has also indicated that he favors drawing back the u. S. Military presence overseas. However, joe biden has continued to emphasize that he will not withdraw u. S. Troops from afghanistan. Americans are rightly weary of the longest war on him too, but we must end the war responsibly in a manner that ensures we both go against threats to our homeland and never have to go back at the time of the u. S. Intervention. Joe biden was a big supporter of the u. S. Invasion of afghanistan. And joe biden has been very outspoken about the need for a continued mission there. And a continued u. S. Military presence. Pistor is going to judge us very harshly. I believe if we allow the hope of a liberator to evaporate, because we are fearful of the phrase nation building, or we do not stay the course. Now Joe Bidens Administration looks like it might be more pro war at this point. Folks will recall that joe biden not only supported the u. S. Invasion of afghanistan, but he was a big supporter of the us invasion of iraq and actually drafted legislation that helped to make that war happen. Joe biden furthermore
